"Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people." –Spencer Johnson
I doubt there are very many parents out there who would fight for their kids to become dishonest, immoral adults, but sometimes in our push to get them into high achievement we send the wrong messages.
"How about this scripture, “What a person desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar." (Proverbs 19:22)
"Or what about this verse earlier in the chapter, “Better the poor whose walk is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse." (Proverbs 19:1)
We might repeat the oft mentioned motto, “honesty is the best policy” while displaying a different, but nevertheless potent fact: sometimes compromise gets you gain quicker than honesty.
